For anyone interested. Here’s a video of programming an EEPROM with dip switches and using it to drive a seven segment display.

The guy’s channel also includes how to build a very simple computer using various ICs. If breadboard computers are your kind of thing.

Love Ben Eater and his projects. Helped me understand lots about how a computer functions under the hood with his 8bit computer project.
